Cherokee Graduation Site Sparks Controversy
CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. - A local school board is at the center of a debate over separation of church and state. Cherokee County graduations are held at a local church because school officials say it has the most space.
Now the county is facing a legal challenge.
First Baptist church of Woodstock can hold 6,000 people and school board members said the ceremonies have been held there because of money and space issues.
Now, a group called Americans United for the Separation of Church and State has threatened to sue the district if graduation ceremonies are continued to be held at the church.
The issue will now go before the school board in January.
